The sign says 1933 Ford tow truck---I know that is wrong, but what is it?


Recommended Posts

Wooden spoke wheels, no brakes on front axle, rear wheel have external drums longitudinal leaf springs --all not 1933 Fordian
Located between Gettysburg and Littlestown PA  right on the side of Rte 97 at Frankies
There is also a American LaFrance Brockway Torpedo fire truck  at the same place--visible in the background of a few of the pictures.

Dodge! I had a 1921 back in 1960 and being new to the antique car life, I just loved to hear it start. No starter noise at all, just the engine turning over and starting like it did it on its own. Oh well, long time ago. But you definitely have a Dodge in 1919+ era.

Thanks all!

I am not familiar with the late teen Dodge products, but from what I see I think i agree--the radiator shell, fenders, engine and rear brakes all look like the brochure pictures i see from the late teens.  I "knew" it wasn't a Ford, but beyond that I knew nothing.  You all pointed me in the right ( I think) direction.

I will stop in and tell the people that it looks to be a 1918 or 1919 Dodge
